Cancel screen update while making DOM changes

Hello, everyone.

I've got some javascript intensive pages that become too slow. I think the problem is that every DOM change made from javascript forces a screen update; so, when you chain many of these changes, it quickly becomes inefficient. I've been looking for a way to group DOM changes into chunks, so that screen (browser) updates occur only after them, but I don't find a solution. Can anybody help?
